porting your current phone number: How does it work to port your current number over ?

DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT -- IF YOU EVER NEED TO PORT YOUR NUMBER FROM MAGIC JACK MJ WILL "JACK" YOU AROUND MagicJack's low cost is not an excuse to provide poor customer service. As to call quality, I agree that you get what you pay for. So, I decided to change from MagicJack to OOMA. That was June 22. When OOMA told me that MJ was having trouble porting my number, I wrote with all the information at my disposal, including the account numbers and passwords emailed to me by MJ -- which, to avoid typos, I cut-and-pasted. Shortly after I got my email receipt from the porting division, I was blocked from my MJ account. I have continued to get emails from OOMA customer service telling me that the information MJ sent to me when I opened the MJ account is not valid. I have two MJ phone lines but only ported the first. I tried to access my second on the internet. BLOCKED. I used my second line a few days ago, it worked. I just tried to use it and, despite the dial tone, no ability to call out. I called the number from another phone and it was bounced to my forwarding number but didn't ring on the phone MJ is connected to. MJ ported my TMobile number in 2 days for the first number and 1 day for the second. It is now ten days since I was informed that OOMA was having trouble porting. So, I filed two FCC complaints today and informed MJ's porting company (ymaxporting@maxcorp.com) that I was doing so. I also informed MJ that I was going to relate my problems to prospective purchasers at Amazon. I hope that my mistake will not become yours.

Yah. No issue. When you change it from default 0000 to your number, you'll do it the same with the new number. Just that your old number is the default. It's easy.

That would depend on the service you use, however, as far as I know you should be able to with all phone companies. You must not cancel your old or existing service before the number is transferred to your new service or new phone. If you do cancel the old service before the number is transferred, you will have already lost that number. So, if it's done correctly, then the answer is YES!

No ... you cannot port the number to this sim ... i think you should go to lyca store for that ...

You can transfer your existing number or get a new one. They gave me one with my current area code. Not sure if you can pick the area code. I would call them BEFORE you decide to activate anything because it's non-refundable. Also, get ready to be frustrated. Their customer service is terrible.

If you keep the same service carrier with active service, they should assist you. If you want to switch carriers, but keep your old number, things get difficult. I hope this helps..

There is two ways for all of your information to carry over to your new device, one way is by porting your number (you do not have to put in all of your contacts one by one, this process will take care of this) also if you have a Google account and you attach your email address your information will follow.

The deal is that you CANNOT port your phone number over as the phone is sent to you already activated. I didn't know that when I bought it. Neither did my friend, who called Cingular, ported the number, and now believes he will have to pay an additional $325 as a result. I see that one of the reviewers- Monkey Puppet- also learned this after the fact. If you don't need to port your number, it's the best deal around.

I don't know. I sent the one back I bought because I couldn't use my old number. Sorry about that.

I would think so; porting your number should be an option. You can check with AT&T; rep to make sure, but I believe all phone carriers are required by law to support number portability.

Yes, as long as you do not cancel your service for the # you want to port. Once you cancel the service the phone co gets the number. I kept my number and tested Ooma with one of their numbers. When I decided Ooma was great, I let Ooma do the porting of my old number for me. They ported my old number and cancelled my service with my old phone co. All I had to do was let Ooma know. It was easy. BUT REMEMBER - you must have an active phone service number to port.

You can have your current number ported over or you can get a new number from H2O

You should be able to transfer you number over, however, you will need to have a data plan or Verizon will assign you one & charger you for it.

Yes, you always have the option of transferring a number you already have through any carrier or letting them assigning you a new number. I think if you do it online it lets you pick maybe the prefix.

Yes. You will need to "port" your current phone number over to your Ooma account. Ooma will take care of all the necessary paperwork after you fill out the details after purchasing the equipment. This is all done online. The porting cost is $39.00+tax and takes no more than 3 weeks. Do Not cancel your current land line and number until the port is completed. Ooma will give you a number to use during this process. I'm very pleased with the service thus far.

Obviously porting would work, but you can also check available area codes on the Ooma site. [http://www.ooma.com/products/choose-number] Note the site has a place to check the portability of your current number as well as check for a given area code.
